Ron Paul: Obama Presidency On The Verge Of Being A "Dictatorship"

What's wrong with dictatorship?

The guy is controlled opposition and it is clear as day for anyone who has done his/her research. Saying "lets audit the fed, get rid of it and then replace it with many private currencies all based on gold/silver aka 'austrian economic'" in the 21st century is imbecilic.

If you are going to show interest in fixing something then come up with actual solutions.

Of course the MSM cannot afford to give him much attention but if his solutions were the real deal he would be getting even less attention.

If you want real change than vote for the socialist party or the green party. In this #ed up world of globalisation this is the absolute best you can do. Unfortunately most americans have been brainwashed to death with corporate media and they don't know conservativism/liberalism/progressivism if their life depended on it.

I am not even a democrat anymore. They can kiss my pale ass!

This makes zero sense.

Congress throws all of his legislation into the garbage before they read it.

Yeah Obama is putting an iron fist on all of us.

This is Ron Pauls problem. For every smart thing he says, he then says something completely nutty. Executive orders have been used since 1789. Obama uses them slightly less than other recent Presidents. And I would put money on Paul using them as President as well. And people wonder why no one takes him seriously.

You people are delusional if you think ron paul is playing favorites with one party over another. He has said he was against the iraq war as well. And nice try by saying obama only made 100 executive orders, 1 is bad enough if it goes outside of its constitutional boundaries.

Well George Washington made the first one and every President since has used them so I am guessing Ron Paul might be at odds with both the founding fathers and American History on this one.

Could you also provide the list of Obama's EO's with the descriptions that you did for Bush? The number of orders may not necessarily be as important as the content of the orders.

Thanks.

We have no reason to have foreign military bases in other countries. Do we let foreign countries set up military bases here? # bro, are YOU senile? Like half of our budget is spent on defense. #ing ridiculous.

You can find them here LINK Nothing exciting. Seems like most Presidents use them for pretty minor stuff. However they can overturned by the courts or other laws so really its hard to use them for anything real crazy.

And Ron Pauls comment might be on the verge of "pushing it". I like Ron Paul I like his stance on a lot of things, however this comment is a little weird. Is Obama a bad president? I would say yes, my personal opinion, but dictator? Not at all, this is just villainizing Obama. I get he has to play the game and all that, but I don't like it.

Secret U.S. Memo Made Legal Case to Kill a Citizen

The memo, written last year, followed months of extensive interagency deliberations and offers a glimpse into the legal debate that led to one of the most significant decisions made by President Obama — to move ahead with the killing of an American citizen without a trial.

This is regarding the assassination of American born Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen. Regardless of what you think about Ron Paul or Obama, I think this is incredibly troubling. I can't help but feel that this kind of 'legislation' sets a sort of precedent that starts a country down a slippery slope.
